Friday a new bar opened up in the Dexter area.

Owners Keith and Leslie Stork and Jason and Shelly Roberts first partnered together for a storage facility northeast of Diamondhead Lake on some farmland owned by the Roberts. Once the facility was up and running, Leslie said that many friends gathered and made the comment that “Now there just needs to be a bar close by.” Leslie thought about it for a while, and after talking with her partners, the group decided it would be a good idea, and the Shootout Saloon was born.

During their grand opening, the bar served drinks, and outside those wanting to enjoy the festivities could play cornhole or Jenga, and purchase t-shirts with the businesses name on it. Later in the evening Zipp’s Pizza brought their food truck to serve dinner.
